The ratio of the number of sides of a square to the number of edges of

1.	The ratio of the number of sides of a square to the number of edges of a cube is(A) 1 : 2 (B) 3 : 2 (C) 4 : 1 (D) 1 : 3
Answer» (D) 1 : 3 We know that, number of sides in a square = 4 and number of edges in a cube = 12 So, ratio of sides to edges = 4/12 Divide both numerator and denominator by 4. = 1/3 Therefore, ratio of sides to edges = 1 : 3

The ratio of the number of sides of a square to the number of edges of a cube is(A) 1 : 2 (B) 3 : 2 (C) 4 : 1 (D) 1 : 3

Answer»

(D) 1 : 3

We know that, number of sides in a square = 4 and number of edges in a cube = 12

So, ratio of sides to edges = 4/12

Divide both numerator and denominator by 4.

= 1/3

Therefore, ratio of sides to edges = 1 : 3
